hell and back

This is not home

"Hawkins?... THIS IS NOT FUCKING HAWKINS!" he shouts
" not the hawkins you know... however this is hawkins. wether or not you wanna believe it, that is the truth."
"what do you mean by that?"
"Think of it like DnD, right the cult of vecna okay this is his home. The upside down. The dimension underneath hawkins."
"the upside down ??" He asks walking by my side
"that's what we've called it at least."
I take his hand and begin walking
" I never thought i'd ever come back here." I thought to myself. Never.
2 years prior
As i waited for my ride in front of the wheeler home all of Mikes friends hopped on their bikes and said their goodbyes before seeing me. They introduced themselves and we talked about Dnd and their campaign and to be honest it was badass. "i had no clue anyone else played or had even heard of dnd in this place..." I had joked right before my mom pulled up to the curb. I said goodbye to the club and went home. The next morning i learned that will had gone missing.
"y/n?" gareth spoke bringing me back to the harsh reality
"hmm?"
"have you been here before?"
"mhm... never thought i'd be back"
We stopped walking and looked at the blood red and black sky. A cloud could be seen forming a huge black cloud. A strike of lightning reveled what it actually was though. Just as i had feared.
The mind flayer.
I felt fear take over me, i couldn't breathe.
terror rushed though me.
